about
A musical collage to describe the bizarrerie and the uncommun feelings when you re reproducing all the night the same dream sequences….and you cannot control these streams of reminiscent images, every nights you re realizing that you seems to be stuck in the same place in the same way with the same people.

All tracks, sounds and instruments were produced, recorded and mixed by Pictures On Silence during this quarantine period.

Brilliant, atmospheric, breathtaking style, his improvised work uses fine and dense textures very well engraved with a guiding tyrol showing what awaits us in his last work, with sliding and continuous chords of an intense and creative sensitivity that literally takes us on a journey to the ends of the world. Excellent work Fred, eager to hear this preciousness, hug, success and happy holidays. Aryon Maiden

Review

Porto Alegre, 01/31/2021 Aryon Maiden

PICTURES ON SILENCE S / T

It is always a privilege to hear the work of Fred from the band Pictures on Silence, today we will appreciate his last album released on 01/29/21.

We started with the melody “The so-called life” with layered textures of distorted, melodic and post metal atmospheres, in a smooth, crescent shape, guided by a striking drums, a prominent bass and sliding, distorted, precise riffs, where the jarring nuances involve our perspective.

“Cut off from the world” is soft, narrative, sliding, melancholy, with a growing cadence full of harmonious and atmospheric feelings with beautiful chords and arrangements that transport us to an ecstatic sound dimension.

“Etiquette”, full of details of the percussion, with a spatial background, marked by a wonderful keyboard foreshadowing this critical melodious preciousness of extreme sensitivity, with precise, high and impetuous sliding riffs, my favorite melody.

“Sinking”, atmospheric with details of bells in the background, emotional, brings a sense of elevation in echoes to the immensity of creation.

Beautiful album Fred, congratulations

Aryon Maiden
